Golly, they left that to the last minute, didn't they? The coaches on The Voice UK have now completed their teams after the last episode of blind auditions - but for a while we weren't sure if they'd manage it, as Sir Tom and will.i.am left it to the final two acts. Talk about cutting it fine.
We don't actually know how they found time to turn for the six final acts in between all the confetti cannon hiding (will.i.am being sheepish is the best), dancing and singing to S Club's 'Reach', and general Ricky Wilson silliness (including, er, a striptease), but they did! Read on as we assess those lucky six (and the poor eight who didn't make it...)
1. Mitch Miller
Song: 'Fancy' - Iggy Azalea
Team: Team Rita
Ooh, we like Mitch - we like Mitch a lot. Not only is he a singing waiter,...

Ray Mears has been axed as a speaker at a caravan event after insulting the vehicles on an episode of Room 101.
During the wildcard round on the show broadcast on January 17, Mears nominated caravans to be eliminated, prompting the Caravan, Camping & Motorhome Show 2015 to remove him from its February event.
"We enlisted him as a credible ambassador because of his love of the great outdoors, something which our industry and community share," a statement read.
"Therefore we were disappointed to hear his comments on TV, which were made and pre-recorded before we entered into discussion with Ray's agent.
"We feel his agent should have made us aware of this pre-recording the moment we began communicating."
It continued: "Knowing that these comments would come to light and then agreeing to work with one of Europe's largest shows of its kind, with tens of thousands attending, we feel he has acted...

Sure, Ryan Lochte, Gabby Douglas and Tom Daley's abs are the real stars of the Olympics (along with countless other athletes, of course), but we've been keeping our eyes out for another set of famous faces: Kate Middleton and Prince William! The royal duo have been hitting the stands in London to cheer on their countrymen and -women, making pit stops at equestrian events, rowing and tennis (where the dashing duo got into the spirit and performed the wave). And today was another busy day of sport-watching—busy and stressful, for Kate at least! The Duchess of Cambridge arrived at Olympic Park solo and sat with Prime Minister David Cameron and Olympic champion Sally Gunnell early in the day to...

Internet videos of babies At the moment, historians can divide the past into eras with a set of geological and societal markers. But soon they'll be able to do it based on what was popular on YouTube at any given time. "Ah, yes," a future historian will say as he examines an antiquated games console, "this seems to be an artefact from the Fat Men Dancing Around Like Beyoncé era. Although I may refer this to my colleague, a leading expert in the Zoo Animals Smelling Their Own Bottoms And Then Falling Over period." And, just so you know, we're currently living through the Babies Being Adorably Stupid era.
For this is the golden age of YouTube baby videos.
